In essence, the entire show needs to be totally recentered to shift perspectives around. What we once had - a multi-generational series that following all facets of life, with a particular focus on adolescence - has turned into something of a similar nature, yet totally different. What we are stuck with is a series of stories that go round-and-round that should be given to teenagers, but instead are lumped on adults who are appear stupid due to the reactions because that's the only demographic the show seems gung-ho on having. Forget anyone over 40 (unless you've been on the show 10 years+, with the exception of Justin) and if you're under 22, don't even bother... In the not so distant past, the show was very segmented - and to an extent, still is. Whilst cross-pollination has gotten better, the idea of Irene getting involved with Lyrik - a story that not only once may have been done in a time when the show respected its past, would have at least added a bit of spice to an otherwise plain as flour arc - is totally sidelined, rendered non-existent despite her quite well-known past as a musician. In place of what? Yet another round-about story surrounding jobless Eden and her bland cop boyfriend or jobless Remi and his doctor or jobless Kirby and her... microphone? ... The unfortunate reality is that there are so many stories to tell that involve multiple generations... When was the last time any vet got a decent story? Just seems like a certain few aren't interested... But it's an easy fix - and quite a quick one too... It's a shame it will never truly be realised.

There was a throwaway line in 1988 from Steven, that Yabbie Creek was a 100mi / 161km round trip from Summer Bay.

I believe we’ve got the majority of it noted down. I’ll have to pull it out!

They're version 2, @Skylover! Version 3 sees Joey removed and debuts in 2616.
